Game of Thrones merchandise coming to India

Rejoice, India: soon your 1.2 billion citizens will be able to buy locally licensed and developed Game of Thrones merchandise through Mumbai-based firm Black White Orange Brands (no relation to the Assassin’s Guild hall). After working for over a year to close the deal with HBO, Black White Orange CEO Bhavik Vora is hoping that the merchandise will bring in between $35 and $40 million in sales during the first two years of the exclusive deal. And unlike otherGame of Thrones-related distribution deals, this one will allow the company to develop its own set of products, as opposed to distributing previously existing merchandise sold in other countries. Vora appeared especially enthused when discussing the deal with The Economic Times.

This is a huge achievement for us. Game of Thrones fans get transported into the world of Westeros when watching the show and are eager to extend that experience into their everyday lives.

Founded less than a year ago, Black White Orange Brands has been on a bit of winning streak for such a young company, recently winning the international distribution rights for NBCUniversal’s consumer products division. The Game of Thrones deal will last for three years and is structured as a revenue sharing agreement, meaning that HBO (and parent Time Warner Inc.) will share in the profits. With the second largest population of any country on the planet, HBO should see significant revenue from the sale of apparel, actions figures, drink-ware, and other collectibles.

As Game of Thrones heads into the home stretch of the series, with only two seasons remaining, it has never been more popular. Ratings for Season 6 were the best of the series thus far, and rumors of a potential spin-off series never seem to die. And even with the series ending, there will likely remain a large demand of related merchandise well into the future.

Here's the script for episode 6:[ These are translations from FD(Freaky Doctor)'s videos on Youtube ]
Content may or may not be 100% accurate, I’m just translating what Friki has posted. Please note that this translation may contain some errors (not every word translates from Spanish to English perfectly) and if you see these errors please feel free to correct me.

The last episode is the longest episode of the season and the longest episode of the entire series so far clocking in at 81 mins according to IMDB

Friki starts his video with explaining he did a livestream for episode 7 because he is on vacation and can’t dedicate himself to edit a video while on vacation (valid reason)

We start in Kings Landing, where we are in the dragon pit where not everyone who was in the north is present. Friki says Dany will bring the unsullied and Dothraki incase that Cersei has a trap for her and places her armies outside Kings landings doors ready in case of a trap. Jamie and Bronn oversee KL’…

Helen Sloan/HBOWarning: Spoilers ahead for “Game of Thrones” season six.
The internet is darker and more full of spoilers than ever these days — and “Game of Thrones” is no exception. But the problem that has arisen in the last several weeks has nothing to do with spoiler-filled discussions of the episodes after they air. A man known as the “Spanish Spoiler” is uploading videos to YouTube in which he details the entire plot of the upcoming week’s episode.
But he’s doing it two full days before HBO airs the show.
In each video description, the mysterious YouTuber writes the following disclaimer (roughly translated using Google):
I cannot put spoilers for the 3rd episode of the 6th season of Game of Thrones, because HBO forbids it. But we can always count predictions, theories, and make analysis of what will happen. And who knows, maybe guess everything.
Nothing about the Spanish Spoiler’s descriptions is guesswork. Multiple plot details were revealed to be accurate for the first two ep…

There comes a moment in the fifth season of Game of Thrones (and I believe the third book of A Song of Ice and Fire) when Lord Varys, of all people, possibly reveals what the entire series is all about. In pleading with Tyrion Lannister to hold on to hope at the lowest point of his life, Varys asks him to imagine a world in which the strong do not prey on the weak, and where the neverending political intrigue and blood feuds are left behind. This being the shifty Varys, such lofty words are best taken with a grain of salt. Still, his suggestion makes one wonder: Is A Song of Ice and Fire ultimately the story of a long, bloody transition from a feudal, monarchical system to some kind of proto-democracy, in which all castes have a voice, and the nobles and the various religions must yield to the rule of law? In other words, can the game of thrones finally end, replaced by a civilization that actually works?
This leads to another question, a far simpler one: Why is Westeros so hopelessl…
